No date, no link reference. I couldn't find any reference in the current agenda items for WRC-15.
But, in today's world, the "#" should have a character reference in the International Morse Code, http://morsecode.scphillips.com/morse.html

I agree with relevant characters being added. Also need the backslash so that file directories can be specified.

Good point. I thought it was already there, but it's not. Only the forward slash is there. Maybe they should include the ampersand (&) too.

How about a special CW character for, "You're tree top tall, caw mawn."
